30 EASY FOIL PACKET DINNERS FOR THE OVEN OR GRILL WITH NO CLEANUP

Looking for easy foil packet dinners? Here are 30 oven-baked foil pack meals with chicken, beef, salmon and shrimp that you can also throw on the grill.

Foil packet dinners are the answer to every busy weeknight. You pile meat, veggies and seasoning onto a sheet of foil, fold it up, and bake.

Everything steams in its own juices, and when dinner’s over, you toss the foil and there are no pans to scrub.

Every recipe here is written for the oven, but each one also works on the grill. You’ll find a grill note under every recipe with the heat and timing, so you can cook them outside in summer or for a backyard cookout.

The list covers juicy chicken packets, steak and potatoes, hobo hamburger dinners, salmon, cod, shrimp and even an apple dessert.

📦 How to Fold a Foil Packet

Use heavy-duty foil, about 12×18 inches per packet, and spray it lightly with oil. Pile the food in the center, bring the long sides up and fold them together twice, then roll up the short ends. Leave a little space inside so steam can circulate. Bake on a sheet pan at 400°F so nothing leaks onto your oven.

🔥 Oven or Grill?

Every packet works both ways. On a gas or charcoal grill, cook over medium-high heat (about 400°F) with the lid closed. Grill times are usually a few minutes shorter than oven times, so check one packet early. Open packets carefully, since the steam inside is very hot.
